Supartz Injections For Knee Pain

Supartz Injections are often used when patients have not responded to other treatments. Containing hyaluronate, a substance close in make-up to natural cushioning found in the knee, these shots act as a lubricant, similar to a shock absorber.

If your physician feels Supartz Injections will benefit your condition, you can expect a thorough explanation to understand the process and technique.

Commonly Treated Conditions

Supartz Injections are specifically used to help treat discomfort of the joints, usually in the knee, when other treatments fail to produce results. Some conditions that may cause this pain include:

Osteoarthritis

Normal wearing and age of the body’s joints, often causing mild to severe pain.

Knee Pain

This common complaint usually results from injury, such as a ruptured ligament or torn cartilage.

Arthralgia

Rheumatoid Arthritis

An autoimmune disease resulting in long-term inflammation of joints and surrounding tissue.

If these conditions aren’t applicable to you, or you’d like to learn more about other treatments, please return to pain management injections.

What You Should Know

Supartz Injections are administered on site at one of our clinics by our medical company, Innovative Wellness Solutions. Pain is subjective; however, the vast majority of patients who have received injections have noted the experience is relatively painless. The injection will be placed directly into the troublesome area. Multiple injections must be administered over several visits in order to provide optimum results.

Common side effects of Supartz Injections could include stomach cramping, diarrhea, and nausea.

Rare, but severe side effects could include increased heart rate, chills, tremors and profuse sweating.
